Matthew 25:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

Parable of the Talents

¹⁴ “^(A)For it is just like a man ^(B)about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. ¹⁵ To one he gave five ^[a](C)talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he ^(D)went on his journey. ¹⁶ Immediately the one who had received the five ^(E)talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents.
